About Deebing Heights

Deebing Heights is about 9 km south of the Ipswich CBD and forms part of the Ripley Valley growth area. It's named after Deebing Creek, and the name comes from the Ugarapul word for mosquito. The area stayed mostly rural until acreage estates started appearing in the 1990s.

It's grown quickly since then. The population almost doubled between the 2016 and 2021 censuses, to just under 4,000, and Deebing Heights State School opened in 2016. Housing is a mix: larger homes on acreage in the south and more modest homes on smaller lots in the north. Most of the people we meet here are families setting up a house they plan to stay in.

Shutters, blinds or curtains? Start with the room

There's no single right answer for a whole house. It depends on what each room does. Here's how we'd approach a typical family home.

Living and family rooms

This is where plantation shutters make the most sense. You tilt the louvres to control light and privacy, and they're cordless, so there's nothing for small kids to pull on. Our custom PVC shutters come in fixed, hinged, bi-fold or sliding panels and start from $250 per square metre.

If you'd rather a softer look, double curtains with sheer and blockout on one track system suit big living-room windows and sliding doors.

Kids' bedrooms

Go for double roller blinds. The light-filtering blind gives daytime privacy, and the blockout one gets a toddler's room dark for an afternoon nap or a summer evening that stays light late. We install them with the cord safety fittings required under the ACCC's mandatory standard for corded internal window coverings, or you can go motorised with no cord at all.

Main bedroom

A double roller works here too, but a lot of people want something softer in their own room. Blockout curtains or Roman blinds both do the job and look less like a practical fix.

Bathrooms, ensuites and laundry

Our PVC shutters are moisture resistant, so they're a strong choice where steam and splashes would wear out fabric. PVC or aluminium venetian blinds are a lower-cost alternative that still wipe clean.

Patio or alfresco

If the kids and the barbecue live outside, motorised external blinds take the afternoon sun off the patio and raise at the press of a remote.

Why shutters are a long-life upgrade

Shutters cost more up front than most blinds, and we'll be upfront about that. What you get is a fitting that's built into the window rather than hung in front of it. PVC doesn't mind moisture or knocks, there are no cords to wear, and the look doesn't date the way a fabric pattern can.

They also stay with the house. If you sell in a few years, buyers walk into rooms that are already finished. We'd suggest doing shutters in the rooms people see first and using blinds elsewhere to keep the budget sensible.

Deebing Heights questions, answered

How much do plantation shutters cost in Deebing Heights?

Our custom PVC plantation shutters start from $250 per square metre. The final price depends on window sizes, panel style and whether they're fitted inside or outside the frame. We give an exact figure after the free measure.

Are plantation shutters worth it for a family home?

For the rooms you use and show most, we think they are. They're durable, cordless and moisture resistant, and they stay with the house if you sell. Many families use shutters in living areas and blinds in bedrooms to balance cost.

What's the best blind for a child's bedroom?

A double roller blind is our usual pick. It combines a light-filtering blind for daytime and a blockout blind for sleep. We fit cord safety devices as required by the ACCC standard, or you can choose motorised blinds with no cord.

Shutters or blinds for a bathroom?

PVC shutters are moisture resistant and handle steam well, which makes them a good long-term choice. PVC or aluminium venetians cost less and also wipe clean. Fabric blinds are best kept out of wet areas.

Can I mix shutters, blinds and curtains in one house?

Yes, and most people do. We quote room by room so you can choose shutters where they matter and blinds or curtains elsewhere. It's a practical way to get the look you want without doing shutters on every window.

Do plantation shutters block out light completely?

Not completely. Closed louvres block most light, but some gets through around the edges and between panels. If a room needs to be fully dark, a blockout blind or curtain is the better choice.

Do you install on acreage properties?

Yes. We measure and install on acreage homes and smaller lots alike. Larger homes often have wide sliding doors and patios, which suit double curtains and external blinds.

Do you repair or clean curtains and blinds?

We do both. Repairs and professional deep cleaning are part of our aftercare service, which is handy in a busy family home where curtains get plenty of wear.

Who installs the blinds in my Deebing Heights home?

Our own installers do, with no subcontractors. The same team that measures your windows comes back to fit everything.
